Mythic
Entertainment announces Call to Arms, the first expansion for Warhammer
Online: Age of Reckoning, which will be rolled out over the coming months at
no additional cost to subscribers to the MMORPG. New content in Call to Arms
will include the Orc Choppa and the Dwarf Slayer careers and a new dungeon zone
called Land of the Dead. The roll-out will also involve three in-game live
events (Bitter Rivals, Beyond the Sands, and Rise of the Tomb Kings), a new RvR
scenario, new functionality to the Realm Wars section of the WAR website, the
opening of official forums, and a new free trial version of the game. Everything
kicks off with the
Bitter Rivals event in March. Further details are promised in the
January newsletter, which does not yet seem to be online.

I was very interested in this game until they started axing major content like capital cities and classes just before release. The amount of hot air that these guys have spewed over the years is astounding, but I never thought they'd change the definition of expansion to include content patches.

That said, I'll try out the free trial when they offer it because I want to like this game. I want this game to be a viable alternative to WoW, but it would be nice if these guys would be a little more humble and a lot more honest. They dropped the ball with this game and now they need to prove to everyone that they can do something that has never been done before in the MMO field: fix their mistakes.
